ext_18500: My non-fandom OC Oraania. She's crazy. (Default)

[identity profile] mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com 2014-03-24 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
I default to fair-skinned white people with dark brown to black hair. You know why? That's what my family is. My Mum is blond, but my Dad, brothers and I all have (or had in Dad's case) dark hair. Even some of Mum's photos from when she was young made her hair look pretty dark.

But it only takes a few words in a text to stop me defaulting to that. Tell me they are blonde, or red-haired, or dark-skinned, or Asian, South American or whatever else? My likely very vague mental image is instantly adjusted.

It is a lack of a few words like that which had the Harry Potter fandom debating the gender of Blaise Zabini for years, and thinking he was a white Italian as well.
